Sponsorship and CSR

Through our sponsorship partnerships, we want to contribute to a better and more attractive Umeå. One of our business goals is to contribute to Umeå’s sustainable growth. We therefore we support associations and organisations that, in various ways, give added value back to Umeå and contribute to a sustainable, vibrant and diverse society.

We invest in sustainable and engagement-based sponsorship.

Sponsorship is a natural part of our business. The main purpose of our sponsorship and CSR work is to promote Umeå’s growth and development in a socially, culturally, economically and environmentally sustainable way. The work should contribute to the conditions for society’s diversity and equality from various aspects. Gender equality is a natural and essential part of our sponsorship work.

What we sponsor

We want the activities or operations we sponsor to generate some form of return to society and contribute to the global goals of Agenda 2030. Our sponsorship can take place in different areas, such as in sports, culture or social initiatives. Other forms of sponsorship can involve associations or organisations that contribute to the sustainable development of Umeå.
